When Boston Bruins center Gregory Campbell went down for the remainder of the playoffs with a broken leg suffered in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final, the question was who would step up to fill his absence.

"I think we are just moving well, and for the most part, we are holding on to the puck," Paille said. "I think puck possession has been key for us especially. You really see (Tyler Seguin) moving his legs. That helps a lot."

It's not just offensively where they've performed.

Paille and Kelly were also dominant on the penalty kill, logging 2:18 and 3:29 of ice time, respectively, as the Bruins went a perfect 5 for 5 in Game 3.

Boston has killed off 26 straight penalties dating to Game 5 of the conference semifinals against the New York Rangers.

"It really got better as the playoffs went on. But we really picked it up against Pittsburgh for the same reasons, same kind of a dangerous power play," Julien said. "Again, it just continues to give us some help in these games."
